Does anyone know how long letters of rec are good for? I.e., I have some now from undergrad profs. If I apply in 10 years, are they still valid? Or do they expire after 5 years along with my LSAC account?

I am having trouble understanding why, exactly, blacks get a boost in admissions. Is it simply because, for some reason, we generally score lower on the LSAT? Anyone have links to any good articles expanding upon the whys?
